Hi, apologies if there is another area to post this I feel like i'm probably not using the right terminology so would appreciate any help. I've had a rewire of the house recently, and we were planning on converting one of the bedrooms to a bathroom in the future, so along with other things we...

Looks like a Sterling one, can find a close fit but it doesn't give details on the narrowest part of the barrel just 15.3mm width.

Sorry here are some better pics... Face at 20mm diameter 15mm on the widest part of the barrel 13mm on the flats Total end to end length of the barrel is 18mm Opening is 16mm at the widest and 13mm at the narrowest

I think i'm going mad. Got an external letterbox in the porch. Previous tennants left the camlock in the locked position and didn't hand over the key (they lived down the street for about a year before i got here, so I expect they wanted to continue getting their post like this). Now switching...

Thanks, yep I understand that bit - there's a sink down the end. The thing is there's an abundance of window on that side, and very little wall. So blocking it up or re-sizing the windows is probably required.

Thanks guys, I hadn't even thought of that as an issue but will have a rethink. Either way I think committing to a hood at this stage isn't worth it. I'll get the wheels in motion on the window first and see where that leaves us. Poss shift where the cooker sits to the left so it's well clear of...

That's right yes it's electric. Out of interest how come gas would be against the regs in that position, is it because of the proximity to the unit to the left?

Hi all, hope this isn't too wrong a place to put this. At the outset of renovating my kitchen, but can't make a decision on whether to bother with an extractor as the hob will be over a metre from where we would put the hood. I can see the regs have a minimum height from the hob, but not sure...

Thanks ree, yes I'm planning on getting it repointed once the weather permits. Was on the fence about trying to do it myself as not only is the amount vast but also not sure my finish would be up to much as a DIY'er. I'll try and get more pics when I'm back there. I think the damp in the rear is...

Thanks John. Plinth, that was the word i was looking for! Yes, old house probs 1880s/90s. I can't see an obvious DPC running through it* but then i'm no expert. No signs of damp on the inside of the main house mind, but there is at the back near the kitchen. *Actually i'll have a dig around...

Area by the corner of the house by the doorstep has gone, what should I use to fill it in? I'll clear the vegetation out beforehand obviously! If it makes any difference, it's a solid wall and this bit will be in front of a suspended timber floor. Any help much appreciated, the more detail...
